A teenager who works long hours each weekend and rarely sees friends is among the winners of the ECHO's Local Heroes competition.
Abbi Odger, 19, works and studies every day in order to care for people after being inspired by her auntie's battle with cancer. She works 12 hours shifts at a care home for people with dementia each weekend, and gives up much of her social life, often cutting nights out short, in order to get to work and study at sixth form.
Abbi, from Anfield, was announced as a winner of our Local Heroes competition with Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill and Hotel Indigo after being nominated by her mum Gail who called her daughter "truly a special young woman". Nominating her for one of five prizes, Gail said: "She has worked and studied so hard over the last three years that now her commitment and hard work is hopefully coming to fruition.
